Galičica National Park, National park between Lake Ohrid and Lake Prespa, North Macedonia.
The protected area spans 227 square kilometers of mountain terrain, featuring forests, meadows, and rocky cliffs at elevations reaching 1731 meters.
The government of North Macedonia established this protected natural area in 1958 to preserve the region's diverse ecosystems and endemic species.
Traditional villages within the park boundaries maintain centuries-old customs while Byzantine monasteries, including St. Naum, represent religious heritage.
Marked trails throughout the national park connect various lookout points, allowing visitors to observe both Lake Ohrid and Lake Prespa from elevated positions.
Scientists have documented over 1600 plant species within the park's boundaries, with ongoing research suggesting additional endemic varieties remain undiscovered.
